Tonya Copeland
Procurement and Licensing Director
Tonya received her Bachelor of Science degree in education from East Texas State University, which is now Texas A&M-Commerce. Venerating the previous school’s mission and mascot, she says, “I will forever be a lion.”
“In 2013, I decided it was time to make a complete career change,” she recalls about her journey to senior living. After becoming involved in the senior housing market, she quickly discovered her passion as she fell in love with Pegasus’ residents. “They are not just residents to me; they are my extended family,” she continues. Tonya describes being in senior living as showing compassion for and supporting others.
During her career at Pegasus, Tonya has found clever ways to save money while enhancing residents’ lifestyles. “I have a responsibility to uphold the highest level of financial stewardship on behalf of our company and its residents,” she concludes.
